Definitions

  • the present invention relates to supported meso/racemic-[bis(indenyl)ethane]zirconium dichloride compounds having a meso/racemic ratio of at least 75/25, their preparation and their use as catalysts in the polymerization or copolymerization of olefins.
  • said process is a process for the preparation of a supported meso/racemic [bis(indenyl) ethane] zirconium dichloride compound having a meso/racemic ratio of at least 75/25 comprising:
  • This invention relates also to a process for the polymerization or copolymerization of olefins comprising contacting at least one olefinic monomer in the presence as catalyst of a supported meso/racemic-[bis-(indenyl)ethane]zirconium dichloride compound having a meso/racemic ratio of at least 75/25 such as prepared.
  • the supported meso/racemic-[bis(indenyl)ethane]ZrCl 2 metallocenes of the invention are obtained by reacting zirconium tetrachloride with the solid reaction product of the bis(indenyl)ethane ligand with an alkyllithium in an ether, preferably diethyl ether, pentane or a mixture thereof, as reaction medium and by recovering a solid mixture of lithium salt and of the meso/racemic compound, the reaction between ZrCl 4 and the above mentioned solid reaction product being conducted under stirring at a temperature from 15 to 30°C, room temperature (about 25°C) being preferred for obvious reasons.
  • reaction solvent lowering the temperature will require a longer reaction time, while increasing the temperature may result in a complete evaporation of the reaction solvent.
  • duration of reaction is generally between 1 and 3 hours, preferably of the order of about 2 hours.
  • the reaction pressure is usually atmospheric.
  • dry and oxygen-free conditions are required for this type of reaction and for the storage of the metallocenes.
  • the ligand may be prepared by using various methods well known in the art, depending on the selection of the specific substituents.
  • the reaction of the ligand with an alkyllithium is also well known in the art ;it is generally carried out by dropwise addition of an alkyllithium solution in a solution of the ligand. Methyllithium and n-butyllithium are most often used, as are stoechiometric ratios of the reactants.
  • the solid reaction product may be recovered by complete evaporation of the solvent. During the evaporation conditions, said product may have to be reduced to a fine powder, e.g. by grinding in a mortar.
  • reaction solvent is decanted and a solid mixture of lithium chloride and the isomeric metallocene is collected.
  • the metallocene is separated from the lithium salt with an extractant solvent.
  • Suitable solvents are methylene chloride and dichloromethane.
  • the isomeric metallocene catalyst is used in a supported form.
  • Suitable supports are silicae having a surface area comprised between 200 and 600 m 2 /g and a pore volume comprised between 0.5 and 4.5 ml/g.
  • a process for the polymerization or copolymerization of olefins comprising contacting one or more olefinic monomers such as ethylene or propylene in the presence as catalyst of an isomeric metallocene such as obtained hereinabove.
  • racemic isomer may be beneficial to the mechanical and optical properties of the polyethylene or polypropylene film obtained since it would give rise to a high molecular weight tailing in the distribution.
  • the process of the present invention can be also extended to other bis(indenyl)ethane)ZrCl 2 complexes with different substituents, in particular those with 2,2'-substituted and 2,2',4,4'-substituted indenyl ligands.
